Man is devouring, waves are traveling through the universe

Chapter 93 Qianwu High-Level Auction

[Golden Soul Technique: Level 1 (115/1000)]

"The Golden Soul Technique truly lives up to its reputation as a secret technique capable of reaching the limit of 100 times the soul amplitude; it's incredibly difficult to cultivate!"

"Fortunately, I have a proficiency panel, so I'm improving little by little."

"I estimate that after cultivating for another few decades, I will be able to reach the second level of the Golden Soul Technique."

Ye Xingkong slowly opened his eyes and shook his head slightly.

This is what makes the proficiency panel so amazing. No matter how profound or complex the secret technique, as long as you take one step every day, you will eventually reach the end.

In contrast, consider other powerful beings in the universe.
If you can't understand it, you just can't understand it. You might get stuck at a bottleneck for countless epochs.

It's not that you can naturally break through to a higher realm simply by having enough time.

Take Ye Xingkong's teacher, the Lord of Qianwu Kingdom, for example. He has been stuck at the level of a high-level cosmic venerable for countless years, yet he still sees no hope of taking that step forward.

"Judging by the time, today is the day of the Qianwu High-End Auction."

"An auction of this caliber is held only once every ten epochs on average, and each time there are many good items, so you must not miss it."

A slight smile appeared on Ye Xingkong's face.

Although he was the personal disciple of the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom, in theory he should have been able to utilize all the channels and resources of the entire Qianwu Universe Kingdom.

In fact, it does.

However, the Qianwu Universe Kingdom is ultimately just a single universe kingdom, and its resources and power are quite limited.

The entire human race comprises 1008 interdimensional kingdoms!
Compared to the five giants, the Qianwu Universe Kingdom is nothing.

"The truly precious resources of the human race, those treasures that are useful for those who can be crowned kings, immortals, or venerables, are all concentrated in the five major powers without exception."

Ye Xingkong couldn't help but shake his head.

The Dry Witch Auction.
Although it may sound like it's run by a "Qianwu" (a type of witch doctor), it is actually led and managed by five major giants, including Virtual Universe Company.

The truly valuable items at the auction are mostly deliberately released by the five major powers, such as the "Initial Universe" slot, the F-class spaceship traveling at 50 times the speed of light, and certain precious secret techniques.

These items can be redeemed by members of the five major factions by spending points, but they cannot be bought by outsiders even if they have money.

As for the purpose, it's probably just to give some scraps to the lower-level forces.

"An auction of this scale is held only once every 100,000 years."

"Hopefully, some rare refining materials will appear!"

Ye Xingkong thought to himself calmly.

······
virtual universe.

Above the vast and boundless Qianwu Continent, there is a floating island suspended above the sea of ​​clouds, resembling an emerald plate.

The island is shrouded in a hazy white mist all year round, with layers of beautiful mountains and a magnificent palace building faintly visible. The rugged black rock layers at the bottom of the island gleam with a faint blue light, and countless vines hang thousands of feet down from the cracks in the rocks.

Whoosh!
A white streak of light flashed, and Ye Xingkong's figure appeared at the "teleportation point" of this floating island.

"This feeling is like teleporting between different main cities in a virtual online game."

Ye Xingkong muttered to himself and strode away from the teleportation array.

"Your Highness!"

Qian Si stood quietly to the side, his entire body shrouded in a layer of golden armor, having been waiting for a long time.

"This must be His Highness's first time attending the Qianwu High-Level Auction."

As Qian Si and Ye Xingkong walked on the beautiful floating island, they asked with smiles.

Ye Xingkong nodded and said with a smile, "The Qianwu High-Level Auction is held only once every 100,000 years. I've only been alive for a little over 2,000 years. I'm lucky to be able to attend this auction."

"Haha! Being able to participate in the Qianwu High-Level Auction is a symbol of status in itself."

"Many immortal powerhouses in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom have lived billions of years longer than Your Highness, yet they are not qualified to participate."

Qian Si shook his head and laughed heartily.

The minimum requirement for the Qianwu High-Level Auction is to be a five-star client of either the Cosmic Galaxy Bank or the First Bank of the Universe.

In other words, the minimum asset value must be at least ten million Hunyuan.

Therefore, the vast majority of those qualified to participate in the Qianwu High-Level Auction are Marquis Immortals or even King Immortals, or a very few like Ye Xingkong, who have little strength but a terrifying background.

The two walked along and soon arrived at the very center of the floating island, where a magnificent white palace stretched out like a towering mountain.

The palace has four entrances, and a staff member stands outside each entrance.

"Sir, please show your admission ticket."

One of the staff members looked humble and had a bright smile on his face.

Although they looked like ordinary staff members, the aura of power they naturally exuded made it clear that each of them was a Realm Lord level expert.

"it is good."

Ye Xingkong nodded with an unchanged expression, but was somewhat surprised inside.

"Tsk tsk! As expected of the Qianwu High-Level Auction House, even the ordinary doorman is a Realm Lord level expert."

Upon entering the white palace, Ye Xingkong couldn't help but sigh to Qian Si beside him.

A realm lord is no small figure in the universe.

He could easily acquire territories across several star systems, decide the life and death of millions of mortals with a single thought, and influence the rise and fall of countless families with a single word; calling him a local tyrant wouldn't be an exaggeration. Although, for a power like the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, a Realm Lord was actually nothing special.

After all, realm lords have a limited lifespan. If they cannot ultimately break through to immortality, they will be replaced every thousand eras, no different from leeks.

But it's quite puzzling that such a powerful person would be willing to work as a lowly "waiter".

"The vast majority of those who come to the Qianwu High-Level Auction are marquises, and some are even kings who have achieved immortality."

"Although everyone's physical abilities are the same in the virtual universe, the will of the strong cannot be concealed."

"If we let cosmic-level or domain-lord-level little guys work as service personnel, even if these Marquis-level immortals don't deliberately release their pressure, the natural impact of their will could still make them nervous or even collapse."

"Only a realm lord can barely remain calm."

Qian Si shook his head and said calmly.

"Your Highness, there is still some time before the auction begins."

"The organizers specially set up a large hall for guests to exchange greetings."

Qian Si led Ye Xingkong through the palace, and after about five or six minutes, they arrived at a magnificent golden hall.

Upon entering the main hall, Ye Xingkong was somewhat surprised.

The golden hall was vast, with twelve totem pillars reaching the dome. The ground was made of some kind of dreamlike rock, which seemed to contain countless stars flowing within it.

Tens of thousands of great beings, each with a different form but exuding an aura of power, were conversing freely in the main hall.

There are giants engulfed in flames, and dwarves who are only half a meter tall but incredibly muscular; there are mysterious powerful figures shrouded in black robes, and savage giants with disheveled hair who look like wild men.

Ye Xingkong even saw many powerful beings from other races who did not belong to the human race.

"This...this must be close to 30,000 people, right?"

"Are there really that many Marquis-level experts in the entire Qianwu Universe Kingdom?"

Ye Xingkong asked in surprise.

"Of course, our Qianwu Universe Kingdom alone does not have so many Marquis-level Immortals."

"However, every Qianwu High-Level Auction is a grand event in the universe. Not only do the local experts of our Qianwu Universe Kingdom come to participate, but also some experts from the five major forces, or experts from other universe kingdoms."

"Oh, some of our human vassal groups are also eligible to participate in the auction."

"Your Highness, look, that is the immortal king 'Aloka' of the Golden Horn Clan."

Qian Si said with a smile.

"I see."

Ye Xingkong nodded.

That's true, since the auction is held in a virtual universe, you can participate anytime, anywhere, no matter where you are in the universe.

This is the advantage of the virtual universe!

"Qian Si!"

At this moment, a handsome man wearing a black robe, with a cold face and three jet-black scales on his forehead walked over.

He first greeted Qian Si warmly, then his gaze fell on Ye Xingkong, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"This must be Ye Xingkong, the personal disciple of the Qianwu Kingdom's ruler?"

"I have long heard of your extraordinary talent, Ye Xingkong, and seeing you today, I find that it is even more remarkable than the rumors suggest."

The man in black said with a smile.

"I had long heard of the great name of 'King Muye', but I have always been cultivating in the Qianwu Secret Realm. Today I finally have the opportunity to meet him."

Ye Xingkong also smiled and said.

King Muye, whose real name was "Changku", was a powerful immortal king of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom.

Of course, as an immortal king, he did not serve under the Qianwu Kingdom ruler, but belonged to the Virtual Universe Company. He spent most of his time venturing into the universe and rarely returned to the Qianwu Universe Kingdom.

The family to which King Muye belongs holds a very prominent position in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom.

There are actually many immortal kings like him in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, but the vast majority of them belong to the five giants.

A very small number of people were unwilling to be subservient to others and were granted the title of Immortal, but they disdained to join the five great powers, and they would certainly not submit to the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom.

After exchanging a few words with Ye Xingkong, King Mu Ye left with his wine cup.

He himself was an immortal king, and his status within the human race was extremely high. Although he took the initiative to chat with Ye Xingkong because of his status as a direct disciple of the Qianwu Kingdom's ruler.

In reality, though, this person didn't really value Ye Xingkong much; at most, it was just a way to establish a good relationship.

A genius is a genius, and a strong person is a strong person; there is a fundamental difference between the two.

Geniuses rely on the influence of others, but the strong rely on their own strength, not on anyone else.

After that, many people took the initiative to chat with Ye Xingkong.

Most powerful figures are rather indifferent, except for some of the marquises from the Qianwu Universe Kingdom who are more enthusiastic.

Ye Xingkong responded with a smile to each of them.

Although they had never met before, he had learned quite a bit about these well-known and powerful individuals through the virtual universe.
